The competition: One of last year’s nominees, Mendelsohn, won’t be back. It’s likely that both Carter and Cumming will benefit from it being the final year of their shows, and I expect that both Banks and Dinklage will surely be back. Kelly is more of a question mark, but he’s likely too. The easy choice for the sixth spot is Golden Globe winner Christian Slater (Mr. Robot). Other possibilities include past nominee Mandy Patinkin (Homeland) and a whole slew of other contenders like Michael McKean (Better Call Saul), Tobias Menzies (Outlander), Jussie Smollett (Empire), and freshman possibilities Ray Romano (Vinyl) and Rufus Sewell (The Man in the High Castle). I’m sure there are also one or two contenders I’m not even thinking of since this category tends to turn over a lot.
